I don't want to be (that guy) but please tell me that this is just a shitty little scam or if anyone knows if it works.

Scam..

Unless it's a "real" supercharger, like an Eaton with an electric motor driving, I believe some Honda's use these.

Big time scam. Somebody came to j-body.org back when I had my Sunfire trying to peddle those things. A few people fell for it, and reported back that it's pure BS.

A leaf blower is not what the "electric supercharger" in mind is.

The engine vacuum would overpower an electric supercharger. Positive boost from one? Dream on.
